Media and Digital Resources Development for Parent/Carer Training
Notice Description
Market Engagement Session for Digital Resource and Training for Parent and Carers Over the past five years, the Mayor of London's Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) has invested PS6.5 million into the pan-London Parent Carer Champion Network-an impactful initiative that has reached over 22,000 parents and carers across London. This network has provided vital peer-to-peer support to grassroots organisations and communities, acting as a bridge between local authorities and families through a public health approach. Recent evaluations have highlighted that the needs of parents and carers are distinct from those of other trusted adults such as practitioners, teachers, and youth workers. Parents require tailored support to help them identify emerging risks and build emotional resilience-critical components in safeguarding children and young people. The VRU's families team aims to centre empowerment for parents by increasing parental capacity and understanding by investing in knowledge and skills to provide parents/carers with the tools, confidence, and emotional resilience to protect their children and be equal partners in early intervention and prevention. Investing in parental well-being and risk awareness delivers strong value for money by reducing youth involvement in violence and the criminal justice system. By equipping caregivers with the knowledge to identify early signs and regulate their own stress responses, we can prevent costly interventions such as exclusions, policing, and mental health crisis support. This proactive, trauma-informed approach strengthens families, lowers pressure on public services, and builds safer communities through early, relational prevention.
